Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 lbs (680 grams) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame oil)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnish and Serving (optional):
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
- Heat the Blackstone griddle to a sizzling medium-high temperature, preparing for a culinary adventure.
- Drizzle a light layer of olive oil across the hot surface, then carefully place diced chicken onto the griddle. Season generously with salt and pepper, allowing the meat to develop a golden-brown exterior while cooking completely through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully maneuver the cooked chicken to one side of the griddle, creating space for the vibrant vegetable medley. Add an additional splash of oil if needed, then introduce broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the open griddle space.
- Stir-fry the vegetables with quick, decisive movements, ensuring they maintain a crisp and tender texture, roughly 4-5 minutes.
- Consolidate the perfectly cooked chicken and colorful vegetables, mixing them together across the griddle’s surface.
- Rapidly whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl, creating a harmonious flavor blend.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the stir-fry, thoroughly tossing to ensure every morsel is evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Allow the ingredients to meld together, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and beautifully combined.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and a scattering of sesame seeds as a final flourish. Serve immediately, optionally presenting over steamed rice or delicate noodles.
Notes
- Optimize chicken tenderness by cutting into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Customize vegetable selection based on seasonal availability or personal preference, maintaining a balanced mix of colors and textures.
- Manage griddle heat carefully to prevent burning vegetables while achieving perfect caramelization on chicken and maintaining crisp-tender vegetable texture.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting traditional soy sauce with tamari and using certified gluten-free oyster and hoisin sauces for sensitive diets.
